Using HP Insight Diagnostics commands in Linux
To use the command line switches in Linux:
1.
Open a terminal window if necessary.
2. Change to the /opt/hp/hpdiags directory.
3. Enter the command with the preferred switch.
See the following examples:

To capture Survey configuration information for your system, and then send the XML file to a
terminal, enter either of the following commands:
◦
# ./hpdiags -t
◦ Or from any directory, run #/opt/hp/hpdiags/hpdiags -t
•
For example, if, every Monday at 5:00 AM, you want Insight Diagnostics to compare the
original HP Survey Utility configuration file to the current HP Survey Utility configuration, and
then save the result to a remote file in plain-text format, enter the following command:
◦
# ./hpdiags -s "0005**01" -c surveybase.xml -p -o
